skate journal: flatground sucking in front of the house (April 28, 2011)
Got home from work and had less time to skate than I had thought. Liz and were going to dinner, then the Always Sunny premiere, then J Mascis! So I skated flat for about 30 min. I was horrible. I’m not sure why all of a sudden everything feels so awkward. I was trying a run of no comply 180, fakie flip then f/s halfcab flip. I think I got to the f/s halfcab flip twice. Ugh. I would land half of the no complys completely straight legged and borderline shooting out. Fakie flips were 1/20. So bummed. Going the other way I managed a halfcab flip, heelflip, treflip run. All tricks being horrible. I had some fakie bigflips going 2mph. I attempted quite a few nollie tres and didn’t get them. I did get a few treflips. All landed with Jason’s patented 20 stair landing steez. Another line was heelflip then b/s flip landed in a way that would only count on defense in a game of over 50 SKATE. I started hucking tricks I can’t do just to feel better about not landing tricks anyway. Rick flips were surprisingly close. I landed on one, but had stopped. Still happy I skated though
